Torres - Spain set standard Golden Boot winner reflects on Euro 2012 success


Fernando Torres believes that in winning Euro 2012, record-breaking Spain have set the standard by which future international success will be measured.
Vicente del Bosque's all-conquering outfit swept Italy aside on Sunday to claim back-to-back European Championship titles and their third consecutive tournament crown.
Torres stepped off the bench in Kiev to net Spain's third goal in a 4-0 hammering of the Azzurri, helping himself to the Golden Boot in the process.
He has been a leading figure in a squad which has now conquered the continent twice and lifted the 2010 World Cup, and the Chelsea striker feels Spain have taken the pursuit of international success to a new level.
Torres told Marca: "You can't ask for more, but it is the work of the team and the togetherness that has brought us here.
"You always want to win more and more, but right now we have to enjoy this. We have won by a distance against a great team like Italy.
"We are very happy. This was the objective that we had at the start of the tournament.
